For consultants, agencies & founders who still send PDF decks

Your file is hard
to read.
Liven turns it into a standalone page.

Drop a text-layer PDF, CSV, Markdown, text, JSON, or log file and Liven rebuilds it locally as clean HTML. CSV data can become charts only when the rows support one; text PDFs get reflow, not invented visuals. Your file never leaves this browser.

Built by Vlad Podolyako — from the lab behind the html-first playbook. I run Folderly and Belkins. This release is deliberately narrow: prove the local transformation before reopening hosted or paid products.
Illustration · what a livened page feels like

The same report.
One's dead. One isn't.

Left is the PDF you've been emailing. Hit "Liven it" to see how a livened page feels — scannable sections, numbers pulled out, charts that animate in. This panel is an illustration; scroll down and run the real engine on your own file. Everything runs in your browser — no upload.

Q1 2026 · +38% YoY · example

Same words as page 4 — now scannable. ARR crossed $1.42M on the back of three enterprise logos and a 22% lift in expansion revenue. The story reads in ten seconds, not ten pages.

⚡ Hover me. Callouts pull the one number that matters out of the wall of text.

When you Liven a CSV, charts get rebuilt from the real numbers and animate in — instead of a flattened screenshot. (PDFs get clean reflow + pulled-out figures; charts come from CSV rows.)

Reader-facing math. At the current 38% YoY pace, the model lands at $2.0M ARR by Q4 2026. Hover the callout, switch tabs — the deck answers questions instead of raising them.

⚡ $2.0M projected — the number your client was scrolling 14 pages to find.
This is a hand-built illustration of the reading experience. The tool below is the evidence: it transforms only what it can read from your file, locally, then hands you a standalone HTML download. It does not reconstruct charts from flattened PDF images.
⚡ Now Liven your own file
Privacy boundary: parsing, preview, download, and UI action state stay in this browser's memory. Liven sends no action telemetry, filename, file contents, email, or payment data. Anonymous hosting is paused until ownership, deletion, rate limits, sanitization, and tenant isolation are in place.
Why bother

Three boundaries that keep it honest.

0
File uploads
The parser runs in your browser. The source file and generated document body are not sent to Liven.
0
Invented values
Charts come only from sufficiently structured CSV rows. Uncertain data falls back to a readable table.
1
Standalone artifact
The preview and downloaded HTML use the same transformed document body, so the handoff matches what you reviewed.
How it works

Three moves. One local artifact.

⚡ STEP 01
Paste the file
Drag in a supported file. Text-layer PDFs, CSV, Markdown, text, JSON, and log files work without an account. Compressed Office formats are refused before reading.
⚡ STEP 02
Liven rebuilds it
Selectable PDF text is reflowed, structured text becomes sections, and high-confidence CSV data can become a real chart. Scans are refused without an OCR claim.
⚡ STEP 03
Download the page
Review the preview, then download one standalone HTML file. Hosting is paused in this evidence release.

Straight up
FAQ

The honest answers.

Is anything paid in this release?

No. Checkout is closed and no subscription is available. The local transformer and standalone HTML download are the entire public product boundary today.

Does it really rebuild the layout, or just embed the PDF?

It rebuilds. Liven parses your file into real HTML sections, pulls standalone key numbers into animated counters, and — for CSV tables — builds real charts from the actual data. (It won't fake a chart from a flattened PDF image; it animates only numbers it genuinely found.) It is not a PDF viewer in a frame — that would defeat the entire point.

What file types work?

CSV, text-layer PDF, Markdown, TXT, JSON, and log files. DOCX, XLS, XLSX, and other compressed Office formats are refused before file reading in this release. Scanned or image-only PDFs are refused because this release has no OCR.

Can Liven host the page for me?

Not from the public UI in this release. Anonymous hosting is paused until pages have explicit ownership, deletion controls, rate limits, stronger sanitization, and tenant isolation. Download the standalone HTML instead.

What happens to my file — is my data safe?

Your file is parsed locally in this browser. Preview and download do not upload the file or generated body. Liven does not send product analytics or action telemetry. If you click the paid-hosting email link, Liven receives nothing unless you choose to send that email.

Transform the file.
Keep it local.

Use the real browser transformer, review the output, and download the standalone page. No account, email, hosting, or checkout.
